Well it's time for the Rudolf Challenge over at Scrappymo's blog, and this is the last one of this year.This challenge runs from the 25th of the month to the end of the month.So I have 2 cards to show this time.I wanted to dabble in some sort of mixed media.Not sure if it was successful though, perhaps you can enlighten me as this is a bit out of my comfort zone.

These are both 8"x8" size cards.This images are from the Crafters Companion Nordic Christmas CD.The paper on the blue one is from the Pink Gem website.The paper on the red one is from the Nordic CD.I stippled some watered down Gesso on these so it looks like snow.The red card I painted Gesso over glitter and glue to get the edge.I do hope you like my dabble with mixed media of sorts.

Hi and welcome to all my very talented friends, and visitors.Sorry I haven't been about much this week, but I have had a bad back, and also my knee has been giving me a lot of trouble, so I have been taking it easy, and resting so it doesn't get worse.

Today is the start of another challenge over at theMOVING ALONG WITH THE TIMES and it's Claire of the B Teams turn to host this challenge, and she has chosen the theme Give Thanks.So here is my DT card made for this challenge.

This is a 8"x8" size card.The doily I cut out on my ScanNcut with the Tattered Lace USB stick.I made the flowers and added some stamens to the centers. The stamped sentiment is a Creative Expressions one. I do hope you can join in this challenge as we would love to see your take on this.

Hi and welcome to all my craft loving friends, and visitors.Thank you so much for your visit, and time.This evening I have a card I made for the Butterfly Challenge, and the letter is Z for Zig Zag.So here is what I came up with instead of putting Zig Zags on the card I spotted this Zig Zag die in my drawer.Well it's not called a Zig Zag die it's a Spellbinders Square Swatches Die,but the edges were Zig Zagged so I used it with some snippets to make this card.

This is just under 4"x4" in size.I embossed the brown snippets of pearlised card, and twisted the shape to give it a different look.The small butterflies were the C&Cclub gift last month, and they are Tattered Lace.

Thank you for all the wonderful comments you make.I so very much appreciate them all.Lots of crafty love. JENNY.

This is a 8"x8" size card.I made the poppies with a freebie stamp, and die of Sheena's that came with the Crafters Companion magazine.I stamped them with Fired Brick DI, and then coloured them in with the same ink and a water brush.I cut out the leaves on my ScanNcut, with some snippets card, and then inked them with Pine Needles DI.So I will be popping over to the playground with this. The poppy paper is from the Creative Crafting World CD A walk in the Countryside.

Hi and welcome to all my craft lovingfriends, and visitors.Well today sees my 2nd post as Guest Designer for the PINK GEM CHALLENGE BLOGI have really enjoyed joining the Design Team of the Pink Gem Challenge, as if you know me well I do love their wonderful images, and card kits as they are such good value for money, and besides they always are so cute too, as well as excellently designed.Take a look at the Design Teams wonderful creations for some inspiration if you need it. So here is what I came up with for this challenge that wants to see Christmas Critters.I decided to make another shaped card on my ScanNcut for this.

This is just under an A4 size.I decoupaged the bow, her snout and mouth, her body, paws,and the candy cane, and then used stickles to glitter them.I added a sentiment to her paw.I reversed the image on the ScanNcut,and made a card out of it.

I glued a couple of shapes together with photo glue to make it sturdy.

I added some Pink Gem papers from their website to the inside with photo glue, and edged it with a Pro-Marker.

Thank you so much for your visit, and time.I do hope you have time to join this wonderful challenge, and see what the other Design Team have been up to.I hope you all have a wonderful day. Lots of crafty love. JENNY.

Spent yesterday looking after my little great grandson who is 7 months old.He is so good, and no trouble at all, and I enjoyed every minute as he is such a content baby, my granddaughter had so much trouble with his sisters when they were little.They didn't like shopping or the car, and used to cry,and play up while shewas either shopping or in the car going any where. I must admit I never had those problems with my 3 at all.So perhaps I was one of the lucky ones.

Today I have another Christmas cardto show you.

This is a A5 size card.I must admit I don't make many of this size card, as I do love square cards which you may have noticed.Papers and the image are from the Crafters Companion CD Nordic Christmas.I embossed the backing paper with the similar embossing folder, and inked the edges.

Thank you for your visit, and time.Lots of crafty love. JENNY. I would like to enter this into the following challenges.
